UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

WM. S. JEWETT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO JOHN H. DUNNELL.

SHAVING-BRUSH.

Speecaton of Letters Patent No. 6,293, dated April 10, 1849.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, 1WILLIAM S. Jnwnrr, of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Shaving-Brush; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, ret`erence being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, being a sectional or profile View of the brush, with the dierent parts, in which- A is the handle of the brush and also the box containing the soap which should be what is commonly called shaving cream.

B, is the head of the left handed screw by turning which to the right the nut or button O, forces down the soap through the small metal tube E, into the brush. The tube E is :fixed on a thin plate D completely covering and protecting this end of the brush. The nut C should be covered with leather so that while .it fits closely the sides of the box the soap may be prevented from passing upward.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Let-ters Patent is- The introduction of the Soap by means of the screw and tube through the handle into the brush by which it may be fully impregnated, and also the combination in one, of box and brush thereby saving time and trouble, for it is only necessary to wet the brush, and while the lather is making on the face, the beard is softened.

IV. S. JEWETT.
